It said “many media outlets, individuals and other community stakeholders initially understood [the letter] to be a statement of the board”.

Its code of conduct required deputies not to misrepresent the position of the board and not to bring the institution into disrepute, it added.

The investigative panel unanimously found the 36 signatories to be in breach of the code.

THE HOLY STATE OF ISRAEL and its HOLIEST WAR against the unwashed, disgusting subhuman vermin that just incidentally happened to have been living there already in 1948 when the state was formed SHALL NOT BE DISPARAGED. Thus this board finds any objection to this cleansing to be out of line, and will send a sternly worded letter to 31 of the 36, while choosing 5 at random to suspend in order to make examples of. DEUS VULT, GOTT MIT UNS etc etc

The letter said “Israel’s soul is being ripped out” by military action that renewed in March, and that the signatories could no longer “turn a blind eye or remain silent” on the issue.

How does that even “bring the institution into disrepute”?

Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in “in favor of apartheid” AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug…

cope is a hell of a drug.

what to do when all the propaganda we’ve all been spoonfed since birth turns out to be false?

how will any one respond when everything we knew in our hearts to be true isn’t?

will we change our views?

or will we remain as footnotes on a postcard from nowhere, as staunch nazi apologists and supporters of capitalist imperialism and subjugation globally?

time will tell for each.

The Institution proudly stands with Israel as a racist, neonazi oppressor of the already downtrodden. Any voiced disputes against this stance The Institution takes from members of The Institution will not be allowed, and will be consequently punished as evidenced by these 5 members specifically.

In that way.

British and Americans forming the new Axis powers is certainly an ironic development. Will London be bombing Germany this time?
